Hope everyone has had a good start to their spring. While I may not have been posting too much here, that doesn't mean I get to sit on my duff all day. Well, not sit on it and do nothing anyway.... If any of you are in the comic book way, which is likely at least a few, you can see where some of my efforts have been going in the may issue of Previews. Pages 298 and 301 have some adds for the team at Brilliant Ent. who've been having me do some work. They've been fun projects and a general good time to work on. Not my usual sci-fi slant of stuff, but doing some work on a Doc Savage/ Hellboy monster fighting sailor type fellow named Kent Menace and a couple other fun stories in their quarterly anthology. If you've the chance, please do give it a look. As i get more information/links to post I'll be sure to share. :)

So, I've had a pretty good time re-drawing designs for the battletech game that I'd done at maybe less than 100% on the fist go around. I've had a folder with a lot of them sitting in there like sad little puppies waiting to be made into a new coat. "Happy" to say, that pretty much takes care of all the one's that initially came into my head. Starting way back with the color redraws of the pack hunter and arctic wolf, and ending just shortly ago with the Corvis. There are still more, I'm sure of it. Some have slipped the first regurgitation on account of them maybe not being 100% my design folly, not unlike the Corvis. But, if you've got a suspect in mind that deserves a serious redressing after i boned it once before, by all means post and let me know. These make for excellent warm-up and cool-down affairs, and scratch a particular itch that almost all artists are familiar with. Plus, I'm sure some of you will get some enjoyment from them too ;) Since I'm likely to forget,

OK, so there's obviously been a LOT of pushback over DA's admitted f'd up actions, so i don't need to put more logs on the fire around that effigy. But, since it's happened once, and is likely to happen again I'm very likely to post less copies of commissioned artwork here. i value people having me do work for them, and their rights to that work. I don't need or intend to put that in any kind of jeopardy. So, you're likely to see less pictures in my commissions gallery at the very least. But, I am still foolish enough to post things i do for myself or for side projects, or other miscellaneous things. Speaking of which, my page here did recently pass a milestone marker and I'm likely working on something to celebrate it ;)
